Tutorial: Getting Started With the SheetMetal Workbench
FreeCAD is excellent in that it can be used for design projects for all manner of fabrication approaches. A really interesting fabrication approach is cutting, bending and joining sheet metal. As such FreeCAD has a dedicated addon workbench that’s incredibly helpful in designing for flat sheet materials. #CAD #CAM #MetalWork #Fabrication

Please Please stop the madness! Stop using Java-script for Unix/Linux tutorials !!

As an intensive Unix and Linux user, I love to use a command-line browser. As a rule, these are links, elinks or lynx for me.

So far, they have guided me to my goal at lightning speed, are resource-saving, require little bandwidth, do not distract with unnecessary bells and whistles and, above all, they work even if the X-system fails and I have to boot without a desktop !

For me, commandline or text-based browsers are part of the Linux fire brigade and are the salvation of many users in need. But it doesn't help at all if manuals, help pages and other tutorials use Java-script!

In the example below, you can see a search query in the links browser with the parameters: "Linux close all windows commandline"

Of the 10 websites shown in the search results, 7 (!) could not be displayed at all because of Javascript, 2 did not really correspond to the parameters and only one (the github page) had a corresponding readable answer.

Does that make sense?
Absolutely not!!

Therefore, an anxious request:

Dear Tutorial Content Creators, Dear OS Developers please stop using Javascript or at least provide a plain text or html option, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Design for 3D Printing, An Excellent Article
It's wonderful when people take the time to share the expertise they've developed. Even more so when the resulting article is filled with FreeCAD screenshots.

Fabulous FreeCAD user Rahix has put together this impressive long read (80 mins) over on their blog. It's a collection of knowledge relating to various areas of 3D printing and it's an amazing read! Thanks @rahix blog.freecad.org/2025/05/08/de

I need some help in my little #SwifUI #poc #app for #macOS and #iOS: it currently just creates lists that I want to 1. sync via #iCloud #CloudKit and 2. share via #iCloud.
I am already able to create a `CKShare` and its iCloud-sharing-url, but accepting the invitation seems like a tough nut.
Was consulting lots of materials, but it does not click for me … The sending of hints to/links of good #tutorials/posts etc. on this this would be highly appreciated!!
Boosts are also very welcome :-)
